Seeking other agent advice! Thank you.

I am in need of some professional advice on where to take my business for the upcoming years, and of course this is the best place to do it!

I will list my questions first and see if that helps:

  • Should I move brokerages? Or continue to teach myself and figure it out?
  • I want to partner up, or find a team that is productive, organized, and professional. Any suggestions?

Quick overview, I received my license and started practicing 7 months ago here in San Diego, California. In the first four months I had entered into 6 escrows and closed 4 deals just shy of 2 million. I paid another agent (mentor if you would call it) 50% of my commissions for helping me and showing me the ropes on these deals. I feel like I could have done more but I am still active duty military (exiting the military in 2018 to be a full time agent).

I am currently at a brokerage that doesn’t have much of a training program, more of an established agent brokerage that lets agents work free and on their own. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the company, it has been fantastic so far, and I am thankful to be working there. But, I do feel I could benefit from more training and with what I have to offer I definitely would like an office, or at the least a shared office. I need to be able to close the door to talk to my clients and make phone calls. If not, I have no problem renting my own office and working as a geo-agent, but that does not solve the training opportunity problem.

Any input would be fantastic. Thank you very much for reading this and being a part of this community!
